An FSRU in operation
Germany plans floating LNG and hydrogen import terminal
Berlin continues to use the private sector in its efforts to reduce its dependence on Russian pipeline gas
The German government has selected a consortium comprising German utility Eon, France’s Engie and Belgian-based Tree Energy Solutions (TES) to develop and manage a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) terminal that will be able to import hydrogen as well as LNG. The vessel will be moored at Wilhelmshaven, where TES already owns land and is building its Green Energy Hub, in partnership with Eon. The addition of the FSRU will accelerate the green hydrogen project, and the hub is intended to start “large-scale [hydrogen] imports by 2025”, the statement says. “TES aims to seamlessly integrate the import of green molecules within the first 12 months that the FSRU is in operation, in order t
